Technical Performance
The Team Associated RC10 '91 Stealth Car Shock Spring Set represents the pinnacle of off-road RC suspension engineering from the golden era of competitive electric off-road racing. The shock springs work in conjunction with the car's hard anodised shock bodies and coil-over configuration to provide smooth, predictable suspension response across varied track surfaces. The long-arm independent suspension geometry paired with these springs allows the chassis to maintain optimal ride height whilst absorbing impacts efficiently, critical for maintaining traction through rhythm sections, berms, and jumps on clay tracks like those found at Sterling Heights' Freedom Hill Park where the original Stealth won the 1991 World Championship. The spring rate tuning capability, combined with the adjustable A-arm and ball joint design, gives drivers the flexibility to dial in precisely the right suspension behaviour for qualifying runs and race conditions. The hard anodised finish on the shock components ensures durability and corrosion resistance, essential for RC cars that face moisture and demanding racing environments. Materials throughout are selected for strength and longevity, with CNC machined aluminium components working in harmony with the titanium turnbuckles and carbon fibre elements elsewhere on the chassis to create a lightweight yet incredibly rigid platform.
